CAIRO, Egypt– UN chief Antonio Guterres pleaded Saturday for a 'humanitarian ceasefire' in the war between Israel and Hamas militants that has devastated much of Gaza, demanding 'action to end this godawful nightmare'.
This handout satellite picture courtesy of Maxar Technologies taken on October 20, 2023, shows a view of the Rafah border crossing between northeastern Egypt and the southern Gaza Strip. Cargo planes and trucks have been bringing humanitarian aid to Rafah for days, but so far none has been delivered to Gaza which has been under intense Israeli bombardment for almost two weeks since the deadly October 7 attacks.
"We meet in the heart of a region that is reeling in pain and one step from the precipice," he told the meeting that included the leaders of Egypt, Iraq, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates as well as of Italy and Spain and Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas. Guterres said"the grievances of the Palestinian people are legitimate and long" after"56 years of occupation with no end in sight" but stressed that"nothing can justify the reprehensible assault by Hamas that terrorised Israeli civilians".
"The message the Arab world is hearing is loud and clear: Palestinian lives matter less than Israeli ones. Our lives matter less than other lives," he charged. "Palestinians must realise their legitimate rights to self-determination" and"an independent state on their land," Sisi said.
